    What all are supposed to disable in a PC for recording music?

    Avoid using "Upgrade" versions of your OS. Make sure you have all of your service packs. Stay offline as much as possible and never introduce hacked software.

    WTB Blue Bluebird

    Marvelous: A good friend of mine got her masters in music at York. I'm keeping mine but keep bumping the thread. You'll get a bite.

    Are those mic stand 'vocal booths' any good?

    I have one. It's different. Unique Squared does come up with some of the best deals on E-Bay. I say that even though I left them some well earned negative feedback.

    Too much case noise

    I'm just a folky, Bob. Me and my tenor guitar. The quiet whine of the hard drive in the Korg D3200 comes through like a church bell. Flashcards are noiseless though. Regardless, looks like the OP is determined to forge ahead.

    It's not yours. Do what you want but I couldn't keep it. . You didn't pay for them and should most definitely not be using them.

    Too much case noise

    I'm using my old reliable Compaq C with Windows XP. I record on a Korg mind you but all of my editing is done on that computer. It's off line and not bunged up with all sorts of extras. In other words... "The right tool for the job". Good luck with your recording. Have some fun with it.

    Too much case noise

    If you don't have more than one room to record in then you could probably use something with a flash drive such as the Zoom R16.

    How does this mic sound to you? (Apex 435 sound check)

    It's a good starter. A little too much high end, not enough low. Could use a presence boost of some sort. This mic should serve you well for a while but if you choose to use it on every instrument and vocal, you may find the brightness to be a bit overpowering even after you compensate with EQ...

    Too much case noise

    You really have to get the mics into another room. Even if you switch all of the fans off, the hard drive whines.

    It may be defective.

    Blue Mics! ...Voice Your Opinion Please

    I don't think you can go wrong with a Baby Bottle. I have the Bluebird which is essentially the same mic.

    Thinking of starting a business.

    I had a studio owner who also duplicated CDs. During my busy season he'd run as many as 2, 3 or even 4 hundred CDs for me every two weeks. I was his busiest client but he always insisted on cash. Artists are well meaning but pretty poor at paying up.

    He's happy enough. I like the idea of the "First session free" though. Try the person out with a song or two and see if it will work for both of us.

    Thinking of starting a business.

    Good tip. I have approached a few performers in recent months but no real takers. Here's a question though. What do you do with the guy who just can't sing? The guy I'm recording right now is getting something for nothing so that's fine but if he was paying me money, I'd feel guilty.

    I'll be danged!

    Maybe it's just me but I like banjo, accordion and bagpipes all sizes.
